Punk Rock Girl Art Revisted

​Since last summer I’ve been going through the archives of my favorite past projects and adding them to my website, some in blogs, some in my poetry pages and on social media. It's been fun to reminisce about how I got started taking these kinds of pictures and what the project means to me. I still take rust pictures often I have just gotten away from posting them. Now I’ve recently moved to a different historic district and I’m surrounded again by old brick buildings and lots of lovely rust I haven’t turned into art yet. This project when I created it was called “Punk Rock Girl Art” a wink at who I am, where I come from and the music and fashion that I’ve adored since I was probably 14 years old. I’m so thrilled I have a new historic town to explore and a huge garage where I’m hoping to create an art studio as the weather gets better. Anyway I know I don’t post on Instagram nearly often enough, I keep meaning to, but I will share my new paintings and of course more pictures as I explore my new town this spring.

It’s funny how much I loved these really intense colors. These were all taken with iPhone 4 edited in Instagram. A lot of these had little poems I’d post with them that were inspired by each image on my old Instagram. I remembered that looking through past Twitter posts yesterday. Thank you all for your nice comments here and on Facebook as I revisit this project. I was out walking around my new town last week when we had a random nice day and saw so many cool things to photograph it really got me thinking about all of this. It’s really awesome working from home now and not 50/60 hours a week like I used to I maybe work 15 sometimes more if it’s a crazy week of course. But finally for the first time in years I have some real time to think about so many things I genuinely love to do that I got away from just being thoroughly distracted by work and basic survival. I’m feeling incredibly blessed right now that for the first time in so long I don’t have to lose a ton of sleep & stay up half the night to work on my creative projects. I think of all the projects I quit and deleted over the years because I’d get so frustrated that I just didn’t have time in the day to do the work the way I truly wanted to do it… but now I do. So that’s something to be thankful for and not beat myself up for quitting things I loved in the past like jewelry or self publishing… I can just do it now lol and I have been.
Love you guys and appreciate all your feedback as always. XoX
